| W/S - Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.28.9.34. Referring to our proposed trip on 28-EX. Hancock has had a bit of trouble in the exhaust system. Additionally we have sent him to Belgium to investigate a customer's complaint. The net result is that he will not be able to get to Boulogne until Thursday, and I have therefore asked him to meet the one o'clock boat at Boulogne. We can talk the matter over on Monday or Tuesday when you next come to Derby, to decide what we shall do in France in view of the altered date.
